The relationship between mitochondrial genotype and clinical phenotype is complicated in most instances by the heteroplasmic nature of pathogenic mitochondrial mutations. We have previously shown that maternally inherited hearing loss in a large Arab-Israeli kindred is due to the homoplasmic A1555G

We have detected a novel mitochondrial mutation in a maternal pedigree, at least 13 of whose members have sensorineural hearing loss of varying severity, but who exhibit no other pathological features. The mutation, at np 7445, converts the 3' terminal T residue of tRNA-ser(UCN) to a C, and also bri
A New Zealand and a Scottish pedigree with maternally inherited sensorineural deafness were both previously shown to carry a heteroplasmic A7445G mutation in the mitochondrial genome. More detailed clinical examination of the New Zealand family showed that the hearing loss was progressive, with the
We report a French pedigree with members having an inherited combination of non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (NEPPK) and sensorineural deafness. The penetrance of both features was incomplete. Additional ectodermal defects were absent. The expression of numerous epidermal proteins (keratin
